Hi devs,

IMHO, a plugin should work out of the box, on all platforms.
The "Experimental" flag could be used for such plugins that require compilation or other third parties elements that are not delivered in standard.

I'm guessing that very few users are inclined to compile code. They just want something to work right now! Also, remember this mailing list is mainly followed by "power-users" who do not mind to compile...

My two cents,
Benoit

Hi all,

there are many QGIS plugins, most of them are Python plugins and several C++ ones. But some plugins may require 3rd party binaries and/or shared libraries (like Lizmap plugin). Some developers may want to include this required binaries into plugin package or even include sources, so users
should compile them before using plugin.

I think we should decide is this allowed or not.

Thanks
